1984 radio problem
I responded to another thread with my question, but thought I'd go ahead and make a new thread. Anyway, after having a new battery and starter put in my vette, I noticed the radio wouldn't turn on. I pulled the radio out, turned the key on, and using a test light, checked for power on all the billion wires. No power as I can find. That should work, shouldn't it? Did I miss something? Can't help but think the radio is ok, but a wire is pinched or a fuse is gone (did the obvious and checked the fuse in the fuse box on passengers side. Fuse is good). Where should I go from here? Someone mentioned there is a relay that supplies power to the radio? Where would I find that and how would I check it? Thanks!

Takes 2 fuses to operate radio, clk/ctsy and radio. Test them both with a meter.
Here are the radio schematics from my 86 FSM, should be helpful in diagnosis.
